Description

The GitLab asset connector used to import every project the token can see, archived ones included. It now has an opt-in Exclude Archived Projects setting, which leaves archived projects out of Discover and Sync so auto-mapping does not create anything for them. This PR documents it on the GitLab connector page.

The new "Excluding Archived Projects" section covers:

  • where the toggle lives (Import Configuration in the connector form) and that it is off by default and editable after creation;
  • what happens to a project that was already mapped: its Record is flagged MISSING on the next Sync, and its mapping and imported data are kept;
  • what happens to an archived project that was never mapped: it disappears from the Records list;
  • what turning the toggle back off does: a MISSING Record returns to GOOD, and a never-mapped project reappears as NEW.

Documentation-only change: no code, models, settings, or migrations. This came up through a customer support ticket. English only; the translated pages follow the quarterly refresh described in docs/TRANSLATIONS.md.

Test results

hugo builds the site cleanly, and the new section renders on the GitLab connector page. No unit tests apply to a documentation-only change.

The GitLab asset connector gains an opt-in "Exclude Archived Projects"
setting that leaves archived projects out of Discover and Sync. Documents
where the toggle lives, what happens to already-mapped projects (flagged
MISSING, imported data kept), and what turning it back off does.
